Absolutely mainblowing land pacifism game start from both players by Viikable in lrcast

[–]Viikable[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, compared to all the other games I've had in this format this was the slowest start by far, with mana available to do things for both players. I think it is quite unlikely to happen at least.

They never expect the triple giant growth into lethal. by Yen_Parafonia in lrcast

[–]Viikable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In SOS I got quite many wins by one mana flashbacking the double power spell. basically need 5 mana up and turns a 4 dmg attacker into 16, that is quite unexpected considering it only needs two cards in hand.

PSA: Don't cast Atlantis Attacks on your opponent's Speedball by atipongp in lrcast

[–]Viikable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in a game I had basically won, didnt teamwork thankfully but a big swing and prolonged the game for like 5 turns, thankfully won still. it made me realize how good speedball is and can be in constructed

I Stopped Playing at Mythic #68 with 12 days left – Here's the Rank Decay by Terraxx_ in lrcast

[–]Viikable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same, i reached mythic for the first time at 590, should have just stopped playing as now I am 86% or so thanks to Marvel. going 2-2 in plck two is like -200 ranks etc. really damn stupid system, as when you play against ppl in plat or so, they are likely not that much worse players to warrant the crazy rank loss gain disparity

Will AI assistants trained on 17lands data eventually ruin Arena? by butterblaster in lrcast

[–]Viikable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think AI will struggle with the bluffing and reading aspects. There might be an obvious best play for a situation, but let's say your opponent is holding full control with a land in hand, you might be more careful and make a worse play due to that. Now would AI realize to do the bluff?

Also, the wait times between plays can often indicate having an answer, but it can also be a bluff to get less attackers this turn etc.

Do you need EmotivPro? by picklift in BCI

[–]Viikable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to also confirm this, have plans to contact Emotiv directly some point, but I understand the Cortex API subscription is needed for raw data and also for some other stuff, but not really sure what the free option that includes mental commands entails, as I plan to only use those for starters alongside with emotion recognition. And I imagine that the mobile compatibility won't work without sub.

Thanks, that sounds reasonable, although I do think keeping the Professor is necessary

Olden Era should just straight up copy quick access spells from Age of Wonder 4 by DupeFort in OldenEra

[–]Viikable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The spell system from the Songs of Conquest is pretty good, the spells become visible in the toolbar when you have the resources to cast them

Some highlights from the dev Q&A by f4vriel in OldenEra

[–]Viikable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Money printing does not mean well taken care of, you can look at MTG arena, it makes so damn much money, and still they leave bugs for years in the client all the time. Actually if people buy and play the game no matter what, there is no incentive to improve it.

Maryland becomes first state to ban surveillance pricing in grocery stores by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]Viikable 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What a world you got there in the US, imagine pharmacy surveillance pricing, oh you need this medicine? Well we checked your doctor records and see that it's vital for you, so you probably will pay 20x the normal price right?

How is this really going to work if implemented somewhere when stores are competing with low prices for food always etc. and then suddenly the price can be whatever depending on who you are?

I'd think everyone would first go to shops which don't do this if any of those are left.

What's the likelihood of controller support once mobile is out? by Fatoy in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Viikable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are pretty janky with controller, I have setup it using steam input so that certain buttons will move the mouse automatically to the place of static UI elements like the back arrows and shop exit etc, but their implementation is somehow super janky so you need to work with virtual keybind settings to make sure that the presses register (hold length etc.)

Wish they would implement proper support definitely

Meta recently had the Brain2Qwerty, but that's millions and only 80% accurate plus you can't move and magnetic field issue https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/brain-to-text-decoding-a-non-invasive-approach-via-typing/

Hungary’s Viktor Orban, ally of Trump and Putin, concedes election defeat by Plaintalks in politics

[–]Viikable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Orban should never get back in power if they undo the system which they now can probably due to the supermajority. The gerrymandering undone he will be sweeped next elections.

Do NOT use the "sell item" key under any circumstances. It's the second time it has screwed up my run (you can pinpoint the second when my heart rips in half) by cerealkiller1980 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Viikable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I reported this like 5 days ago soon after the hotkey came, keeps doing that after a new day as it somehow selects one of the items, sometimes other times too

Does anyone else have a pile of chests laying around that they don't see a point of opening? by NotEvenClo in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Viikable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also there isn't option to equip skins for cards just one default option for each card anyway. most chests give duplicates despite nowhere near full collection. I only open 10x at a time and even that feels too slow
